`96 Grand Cherokee Pitman Arm
Greetings,
I just bought my first Jeep last week. It's for my 16 year old
daughter. It's in great shape with the exception of too much play in
the steering. I've seen many write-ups concerning this. I've traced the
problem to be excessive play where the pitman arm joins the suspension.
My question is, would this be the piman arm, the link to the pitman
arm, or both?

Re: `96 Grand Cherokee Pitman Arm
You mean it's great shape for a ten year old car, with three
hundred thousand miles on it? The part that will make it feel loose is
the stabilizer shock absorber that you may just see behind the drag link
in this picture: http://www.cowtownjeeps.com/tech/FrontSusp.jpg And will
look like:

Or in that time no one greased the tie rod ends at each connection, may
be bad. Or ball joint at knuckle.

Re: `96 Grand Cherokee Pitman Arm
If you mean the 'tie rod end' there, then it needs to be replaced before
it falls off. I believe the part is called the drag link bar end.
